    Notes: Abstract RT-PCR was performed on peach (Prunus persica [L.] Batsch) RNA to isolate cDNAs corresponding to transcripts which are differentially expressed in leaves borne on basal and apical shoots. A gene was identified which was more highly expressed in the leaves of basal shoots, and codes for the cytoplasmic protein S28 present in the small ribosomal subunit. The 5′ leader regions of RPS28 mRNAs were found to harbour 8–11 pyrimidine tracts, which suggested similarities to regulatory stretches that control the translation of mRNAs for ribosomal proteins in animals. The peach S28 is encoded by two intron-containing genes, which are both transcribed in mitotically active tissues such as developing leaves and roots. In situ hybridisation to shoot vegetative apices and the measurement of nucleus/nucleolus ratios indicated that RPS28 expression was confined to areas undergoing active cell division. The mature RPS28 mRNA was detected as a single species in actively dividing tissues such as apical tips, developing leaves, vegetative buds, stamens, developing fruits and roots. In contrast, accumulation of a precursor RNA, in the presence of the mature product, was found in fully expanded leaves and subtending stems, while only the precursor species was detected in several late-stage tissues. This phenomenon suggested that expression of the mature RNA is controlled at the level of splicing and turnover of the precursor RNA. This is similar to the mode of regulation of ribosomal protein genes in animals.

    Description: The fragmentation of the collisional border between the African and European plates has also originated the Apulian (Adriatic) microplate. Recent studies show the possibility of a non-unitary geodynamic evolution of this microplate: palaeomagnetic data from North-Western Greece and Southern Apulia indicate a different rotational behaviour. Between 41' and 43' latitude North, regional strike-slip fault systems cut crosswise the Adriatic basin, breaking the Adriatic block in at least two minor elements. The intense seismicity points out an active defonnational area. In the same region also other geophysical data identify a transitional zone.

    Description: La convergenza Africa-Eurasia, che ha dato origine alle catene montuose circum-mediterranee, ha provocato la frammentazione della zona di contatto tra le due placche in blocchi minori. Tra questi la microplacca adriatica ha giocato un ruolo determinante nell'evoluzione del Mediterraneo centrale e in particolare delle catene terziarie periadriatiche. I margini della microplacca sono stati definiti da diversi autori sulla base dell'attività sismica, con ipotesi anche recenti di un comportamento dinamico unitario del blocco adriatico, relativamente indeformato e asismico rispetto alle fasce orogeniche circostanti. Tale modello risulta tuttavia insufficiente a giustificare quanto emerge dall'analisi della sismicità recente dell'area: negli ultimi anni l'istituto Nazionale di Geofisica (ING) ha infatti notevolmente migliorato il sistema di acquisizione e di elaborazione dei dati sismici rilevati dalla Rete Sismica Nazionale Centralizzata (RSNC), che attualmente dispone di una copertura strumentale più omogenea del territorio. Ciò ha permesso di definire spazialmente con maggior precisione l'attività sismica italiana, compresa quella che ha interessato negli ultimi anni il bacino adriatico: dall'elaborazione dei nuovi dati si è infatti evidenziata una maggiore concentrazione degli ipocentri al di sotto del 43° parallelo, in una fascia a est del promontorio del Gargano. Questa zona ha un notevole significato geodinamico per la presenza di un'ampia fascia di deformazione, in corrispondenza dei due sistemi di faglie trascorrenti, noti in letteratura come faglie delle Tremiti e di Mattinata. Il verificarsi di terremoti con notevole rilascio di energia individua dunque un'importante zona sismogenetica nel basso Adriatico, finora poco studiato da questo punto di vista, che potrebbe modificare il quadro geodinamico del Mediterraneo centro-orientale. ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The convergence between the two plates Africa- Eurasia, which originated circum-Mediterranean mountain belts, determined the fragmentation of the collisional border in minor blocks. Among these the Adriatic microplate has played an important role in the evolution of the Centra1 Mediterranean region and, in particular, of the peri-Adriatic belts during Tertiary. The Adriatic microplate margins have been defined by severa1 authors on the basis of seismic activity, assuming also recently a unitary dynamical behaviour of the Adriatic block, considered relatively undeformed and aseismic compared with the peri- Adriatic belt. Nevertheless such a mode1 is inadeguate to justify the recent seismicity (1986-1990). During the last years the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica (ING) has greatly improved the acquisition system and the elaboration of the seismic data, detected by the Telemetered National Seismic Network, providing a more homogeneous instrumental covering of territory. This fact has allowed a more precise spatial definition of the Italian seismic activity, including the one occurred in the last years within the Adriatic basin. In such a way a major hypocentral concentration has been possible to point out below 43' N latitude, on east of the Gargano headland. This area has a considerable geodynamical meaning due to a wide kinematic deformation belt, in coincidence of the two Tremiti and Mattinata regional strike-slip fault systems. The occurrence of strong earthquakes defines an important seismogenic structure in the Southern Adriatic, which would modify the geodynamical framework of the Central-Eastem Mediterranean.
